From the Shadows

Some monsters come back from the dead. Some women were always meant for the dark. Welcome to the murder.

She spent a year chasing me.
A former detective with a cold case network.
Enough evidence to bury me twice.

She thought she was hunting a monster.
She never stopped to wonder if the monster liked the chase.

I took her because she knew too much.
I kept her because her brother’s name was hidden in my past.

The deeper I dug, the worse it got.
The rabbit tattoo.
The same evil that marked us both.

She should be a liability.
A mistake I should have cut loose before it cost me.

Instead, she gets under every wall I ever built.
Under the parts of me I buried so deep I forgot they existed.

I’ve spent my life being the thing people survive.
Yet, she’s the first woman who makes destruction feel holy.
Makes ruin feel too close to worship.
Maybe I was always meant to be her dark heaven.

Little fox,
You built a cage for a monster.
You should have built it for two.
I’ve never let anything I wanted walk away.
I’m not about to start with you.
